Precious Little (Hardcover)

Staff Reviews

Although she is only a ragtag circus hand, Precious Little dreams of soaring and glittering high above the ground like the aerial acrobats she worships. With the help of her friends, she takes a lucky leap, and...will she fall or fly? Precious Little's world is a wonder to behold, illustrated with such originality and exuberance one cannot help but feel part of her technicolor universe. A work of great beauty and power, Precious Little will be cherished by dreamers and magic lovers of all ages. -- Lily Harris

Praise For…

"Chapman's intricate, dew-dappled flowers recall turn-of-the-century illustration; it's an invitation to indulge in a flight back to another time." —Publishers Weekly on Little Blue

"Children (and adults) can be lost for a long and pleasurable time amid the sparkles."—Kirkus Reviews

"Dizzyingly elaborate illustrations can overpower stories, but Hunt and Moss’s tale is every bit as rich as Chapman’s (Little Blue) byzantine fantasies . . . It’s a provocative cross between Alice in Wonderland and Cirque du Soleil—hardcore whimsy, if such a thing is possible."—Publishers Weekly
